Re: carb car help please!

I'd start with basics - what rpm is the idle set at? What's the base timing set to? Check for vacuum leaks. What fuel pressure? Using stock intank pump or mechanical pump or aftermarket electric? If intank pump, did they use a RETURN style regulator? If aftermarket or mechnanical pump, did they remove the intank pump? We need alot more info here.
